1. I will use my every potential to do that. I just always knew that I need to get out. I have to do it. I have no choice.
如果我不顾一切发挥每一点潜能去做会怎样? 我必须做到,我别无选择。
2. Don't close your eyes, rise again after you fall, you need to get out.
请不要闭眼,机会就在下一秒出现。残酷的现实面前你应勇往直前。
3. Did you ever feel sorry for yourself?--That had always been my life and I really——I feel that I got lucky, because any sense of security was pulled out from under me. So I was forced to look forward. I had to… there was no going back.
我为什么要觉得可怜,这就是我的生活。我甚至要感谢它,它让我在任何情况下都必须往前走。我没有退路,我只能不停地努力向前走。
4. Because I was turned so inward by mom and dad, I got a chance to see how all the little tiny things come together to make the final product.
因为我的父母迫使我向深处里观察,我有幸看到所有的微小事务是如何最终聚集在一起最终形成产物的。
5. I'm smart. I know I can succeed. I just need a chance. A chance to climb out of this place I've born in.
我真的很聪明,我会成功的,我只是需要机会而已,是的,是这样的,我需要机会脱离我出生的环境。
6. Now I can lay it out and burn it done, put it in the rest, then I can go on.
放下负担,让它过去,这样才能继续前进。
7. What's a home anyway? A roof? A bed? A place where, when you go there, they have to take you? If so, then I was 15 when I became homeless.
什么是家?一个屋顶? 床?必须接纳你的地方?如果那样的话,15岁我开始无家可归。
8. Sometimes I feel like there is skin upon the world. And those of us who are born under it, can see through it. We just can't get through it.
有时候我觉得世界外有一层外壳,我们所有人都生在这层外壳之下,你能从外壳里看到外面,但是你却出不去。
9. I don’t wanna be an idiot. I wanna go to school.
我不想做傻瓜,我要去上学。
10. I knew at that moment I had to make a choice. I could submit to everything that was happening and live a life of excuses… or I could push myself. I could push myself and make my life good.
就在那一刻,我明白了,我得做出选择。我可以为自己寻找各种借口对生活低头,也可以迫使自己更好地生活。
11. I feel that I got lucky because any sense of security was polled out from me, so I was forced to look forward, I had to, and was no going back. And I reach the point, where I just thought, “All right, I'd got to work as hard as I possibly can , and see what happens”.
我觉得我自己很幸运,因为对我来说从来就没有任何安全感,于是我只能被迫向前走,我必须这样做。世上没有回头路,当我意识到这点我就想,“那么好吧,我要尽我的所能努力奋斗,看看究竟会怎样。”
12. I loved my mother, so much. She was a drug addict. She was an alcoholic. She was legally blind. She was schizophrenic. But I never forgot, that she did love me.
我爱的我妈妈,如此之深。她吸毒、酗酒、基本失明,还患有精神分裂,但是我绝不会忘记她爱我。
